Summary
Nancy Wheeler is a lot of things.
She is a straight A student, a member of the honor society, the ‘princess’ of Hawkin’s High School. She is Steve Harrington’s girlfriend, and is—was, Barb Holland’s best friend. She was arguably a shitty sister and the person responsible for the death of said best friend.
She did her best to accept herself as she was, she was a realist after all. But there is one thing she just couldn’t seem to accept.She wasn’t a lesbian. Or a fairy or whatever those shit heads like Tommy would call it.
She couldn’t be! She had had boyfriends. She dated Steve. And she really liked Steve. She did!
So how the hell did she end up with her tongue down Robin Buckley’s throat?

Summary
The woman stops her pacing, setting her pale and unevenly-coloured eyes on Kara, and in that moment Kara understands - for the very first time - how Helen of Troy’s face could have been beautiful enough to start a war.
“Enough. I’m tired of being passed from one person to the next. Tell me,” the woman says fiercely after Kara has been quiet for too long. “Who are you?”
“I’m, um,” Kara says, wiggling her feet until they’re buried in the sand up to the ankle. “I’m Kara.”
The woman stares at Kara, incredulous and silent. It stretches out between them, those lingering questions and Kara’s unwillingness to answer them, until finally her shoulders sink and she deflates with a small, disbelieving laugh.
“Right. Well, I’m Lena,” she says, finally seeming to realize her dress is torn and pulling it tighter, "and if you don’t mean me harm, then I suppose you just saved me.”
OR
Kara’s pod crash happens in 6th century Greece, and she grows up eager to be like the heroes whose myths comforted her in the wake of Krypton’s destruction. But when she accidentally reveals her powers and the world views her as a demigod, Kara begins to understand just how dangerous that can be.

Summary
“Damn it,” Alex grumbles, kicking at an empty chair until it skids across the floor. “Come on, guys. There has to be someone who can go undercover. Any woman under 30 at this bureau who can put on some makeup and twirl in a circle.”
And then all eyes, inexplicably, go to Kara.
“Who?” Kara asks, looking back and forth between Alex and Vasquez and surreptitiously brushing the Cheeto dust from her pants. “Who is it, guys?”
But Alex and Vasquez just keep staring at her silently, matching grins on their faces, and after a few seconds the horrible truth dawns on her. Kara blinks, looking down at herself and then back up at them.
“But…I’m 31?”
OR
To help her sister foil an attack on the Miss United States pageant, Kara needs to go undercover. There’s only one problem – she’s never been ladylike a day in her life. What starts as a reluctant favour leads Kara to real friendship, growth, and Lena Luthor, all under the watchful eye of the pageant spotlight.
OR OR
The Miss Congeniality AU.

Summary
“Why are you wearing that?”
“Wearing…what?” Kara asks, looking down at herself. Her costume is cheap, sure – just a baggy black polyester robe, a hat, and a green rubber mask with a warty nose – but it was the first costume she saw at the store, and she didn’t want to spend a bunch of money on something she planned on throwing away.
“That.” The woman nods her head at Kara’s general presence, her eyes lingering on the mask. “That costume.”
“It’s Halloween?” Kara shrugs, completely lost.
“Yes, and this is why I hate Halloween,” the woman says, with a little more heat behind it. “It’s…it’s perpetuating stereotypes.”
For a few long moments, Kara stares at the woman’s steadily reddening face. When she finally opens her mouth, all she can manage is “...what?”
OR
Kara and Lena find each other at a Halloween party not long after their first meeting, but neither recognize the other past their costumes. Their spark, however, is completely intact.
OR OR
If Lena was a witch from the beginning, Kara didn’t recognize her because of a terrible disguise, and they fucked in a storage closet.

Summary
“It’s a lot easier for me to keep my grip on you when I can actually feel your body.”
The phrase feel your body said in Kara’s voice rattles around in Lena’s head like a pinball machine, but she manages to shrug her sweater off and throw it somewhere behind them before she can second-guess herself. Kara is looking comfortable in a loose white t-shirt, and when she takes Lena by the waist and puts Lena’s hand on her shoulder the texture of it is light and soft.
“Let’s start from square one,” Kara says, so kindly that her next words take a few seconds to register in Lena’s brain. She tightens her grip on Lena’s waist, and says with full confidence:
“Dancing is a lot like sex.”
OR
Against her better judgement Lena agrees to compete on Dancing with the Stars for the PR boost. When her chemistry with her partner Kara gets misconstrued by the press, there’s obviously only one solution.
AKA, a Dancing with the Stars/Fake Dating AU.
